One other thing about the schedule- it's not just about going to bowls and increasing our national profile. Playing NC State is going to cause us to have a home and home deal- which costs us a home game, which in turn costs MSU money. Another reason we play JSU and Alcorn is because we actually save money playing them over some other I-AA schools. It's a win/win for us and them. The more home games we have, the better. Seven being a reasonable number in case anyone is wondering. And if one of those is an alumni road game, we essentially turn that game into a neutral site with the crowds we bring- see Tulane and Memphis.
